Two Amendments Drew More Than 92% Support in Comal County’s 2022 Canvass

The special-meeting agenda listed one item: canvassing results of the May 7, 2022 constitutional-amendment election.

The recorded numbers amount to 12,280 votes on Proposition 1 and 12,348 on Proposition 2. Dividing each proposition’s supporting votes by its recorded total produces approval shares of about 92.4% and 93.3%, respectively; the percentages are Comal.News calculations from the county minutes. Proposition 2 drew 68 more recorded votes than Proposition 1.

Proposition 1’s county margin was 10,416 votes, while Proposition 2’s was 10,686. Those margins describe only the Comal County tally approved at this meeting; comparing the local percentages with certified statewide results would require the corresponding state canvass.

A Five-Minute Canvass

The special meeting began at 10 a.m. in the Commissioners Courtroom at 100 Main Plaza in New Braunfels. After the clerk’s presentation and the vote, the court recessed at 10:05 a.m., making the documented proceeding five minutes long.

The minutes carry County Clerk Bobbie Koepp’s May 26, 2022 attestation that they accurately accounted for the authorized proceedings. That signed record closes the meeting-level trail from the posted canvass item to the approved county totals.

Readers can inspect the posted agenda to verify the meeting’s single authorized item, then compare it with the final minutes for the numbers, motion, vote and clerk’s attestation. A statewide comparison would require the certified Texas canvass for the same election.
